Medford PAL Club Plans To Be
By GREG NOKES
Mail Tribune Staff Writer
Aspiring young pugilists in
the Rogue valley area are
urgently needed.
The need is that of the
Medford Police Athletic
League, more commonly
known as the PAL club
which last week announced
that it would again be re
activated
The club has surmounted
many of the obstacles which
forced its withdrawal into rel-
itive inactivity early last
y.ear, but it still lacks one
basic ingredient to ensure its
success - boxers.
A PAL club without boxers
is like a Iish out ol water.
All ages, sizes and shapes of
rfoxers are needed. There is
g" minimum age limit of 12;
no maximum,
interest Required
; Prior experience is not a
prerequisite - all that is re
quired is interest and a de
sire to learn. Providing train
ing and experience is the job
al the PAL club itself.
I There is no charge. But it
vgill first be necessary to ob
tain a PAL membership card
, from the city parks and rec
reation department in the
Medford city hall. Cards will
be made available starting to
morrow. ;Once the card has been ob
tained, the next step is to
show up tomorrow night at
7 o'clock at the upstairs gym
above the Medford Beauty
sShool on Sixth St., between
Kr si. and the railroad tracks.
All the young Jack Demp
sSys have to do is to bring
tbemselves. The necessary
equipment - ring, gloves,
jump ropes and the rest- is
already there. Experienced
trainers will also be on hand.
Tjraining Hours
"Training will continue Mon
days through Fridays from 7
t5 9:30 p.m. Jim Zack, head
trainer, said he hopes the
club can have at least two
bDxers ready in time to enter
the Golden Gloves tourna
ment in Portland's Memorial
coliseum Feb. 3 and 4.
Following the Golden
Gloves tournament, Zack said
the PAL club plans to stage
several fights at the Armory
before June. In addition,
weekly or bi-weekly "smok
ers" will be held as will an
exhibition or two at the White
City Domiciliary.
" Zack said the police department-sponsored
organiza
tion now has the support and
help of the city's parks and
recreation department, and
added: "We hope to establish

a much better program than
we've had in the past."
Hampered by Circumstances
Actually, there has been
nothing wrong with the club's
past program, it has simply
been hampered by many out
side circumstances over which
it has had little, if any, con
trol. Chief among these has been
lack of an adequate place in
which to hold fights. But, the
recent seating improvements
at the Armory have resolved
this problem. Zack said the
Armory now has a seating ca
pacity of 2,000 which makes
it "a very good facility for
putting on boxing shows at
a nominal cost."
Another problem has been
Grants Pass Will
Get Navy Reserve
Unit Facilities
Grants Pass - Announce
ment was made recently that
Grants Pass has been chosen
as one of four sites for the
pnnstriiction of Naval Re
serve Electronics facilities.
I.t Com. Maurice W. An
derson, representing the lo
cal Reserve unit, said inurs
day night that the facilities
would be located in Grants
Pass, Ore.; Pocatello and
Idaho Falls, Idaho; and Pas
co, Wash., all in the 13th Nav
al District.
Construction and comple
tion dates of the project are
i Vi t in the infi4 fiscal
year, according to Anderson.
Speed of construction depenas
on the selection of a proper
site, officials reported.
Anderson pointed out spe-
oifi. advantages or having
such a facility in Grants Pass.
He said: A Naval Keserve
F.lepfrnnies facilitv is an asset
. . . in that it has many serv
ices to offer. Payroll of 51
men presently attached to the
local unit is approvimaieiy
nnn annnrillv. The Dro-
posed facilities are designed
to care tor live divisions,
tn view of this fact, it is en
tirely possible, in the future
to multiply tne payroll Dy
Provide Opportunity
In addition, ne conunuea,
the local Reserve can provide
the opportunity for high
school boys to participate in
the Naval activities and at
the same time complete vneir

a cumbersome ring that the
club has been using. The ring
now belongs to tluo Domicili
ary and takes anywhere from
10 to 15 men to move.
Zack said it is hoped that
if a few successful fight shows
can be staged, the club will
have enough money to pur
chase a portable ring that two
men can set up in a half hour.
Cost of the ring, Zack said,
will be about $2,500.
Training Quarters
The club's former training
quarters, above the Beauty
school, are now being leased
by the Medford Athletic club.
However, the quarters are fur
nished with PAL club-owned
equipment, and Zack said the
athletic club has agreed to
education. This gives high
school students a chance to
graduate and gain experi
ence prior to going on two
years of active duty.
The proposed construction
project suggests a building
with about 3,000 square feel
of floor space, besides land
scaping and a parking area.
The proposed site is expected
to cover at least an acre, lo
cated "conveniently."
Anderson explained that
the local Reserve believes that
the proposed facility plan is
a "culmination of the efforts
and support of many persons."

Zack said the club will pro
vide only a boxing program
at the start, although it is
possible it may expand its
activities at some time in the
future.
There are still several good
boxers in the area who have
boxed for the PAL club be
fore and who Zack hopes will
again fight for the club.

Film Scheduled
On Medical Program
"Decision," a film showing
hospital procedures, will be
featured on the Jackson Coun
ty Tuberculosis and Health
association television program
"Adventures in Medicine"
over KBES-TV at 1:30 o'clock
this afternoon.
The film presents factual
information on hospital serv
ices and costs, with a break
down of hospital budgets and
how the patient's dollar is
spent. Modern equipment and
advances in laboratory tech
niques and facilities are ex
plained, and emergency and
every-day hospital events are
depicted in dramatic form.
Although the film was
made for Blue Cross, it gives
an accurate and graphic de
scription of life inside any
modern hospital.
Live medical panel discus
sions on "Adventures in
Medicine" will resume Jan.
22, according to the television
committee of the association.
